DE Jhaustin Thomas (6-7 275) of Trinity Valley JC, TX, who signed with USC for the 2012 class but failed to qualify, is back on the Gamecocks’ commitment list for 2014. Thomas told TheBigSpur.com he talked with defensive line coach Deke Adams Tuesday night and was assured he is wanted even if he doesn’t graduate until next spring. Thomas said he had been hearing from Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, Ole Miss and Arizona State. He only played in three games last season due to an injury. He’s put on some size in junior college. He was listed at 6-6, 240 coming out of high school. He’s the 8th commitment for USC’s 2014 class.

Not sure of the specifics of his injury last season, but if he only played in 3 games last year I wonder If he will be a candidate for a medical hardship waiver and possibly get a 5th year... Do the same rules apply in juco?

-- Class of 2014 three-star defensive end commitment Jhaustin Thomas (Athens, Texas/Trinity Valley) had nine tackles, three sacks and another TFL in a 35-7 win over then No. 1 Navarro College last Saturday.
